Comments:
This is the first time that I have had a go at a 15m Monoband Entry, as
previously I have always done 10m monoband entries. I started on the
band at 1030z both days, only the big stations could be heard from
USA/VE for the first hour or so. The rates then started to increase, but
not as much as I expected there, I had very few runs that lasted longer
than 10mins or so. After 1700z the rates did start to pick up as the
west coast was coming through quite loud, the best runs where on the
Sunday to the West Coast. The band closed relatively late both days
around 2100z. I had a problem with the Writelog keyer as it was
glitching and for most of the second day I sent by hand. I worked
exactly the same number of mults as in my 10m monoband entry last year
but I was 120q`s down. I think that in the future I will look into doing
SOAB, but unfortunately my current contest QTH is not suitable for this.
Again thanks to my Dad M5ZAP for helping setting the station up.
